The question says:
> The moon's acceleration due to gravity is 1⁄6 of the earth's value.
Weight is directly proportional to gravitational acceleration, so if gravity on the Moon is 1/6 that of Earth, an object's weight on the Moon is also 1/6 of its weight on Earth.
So the correct answer is:
B. 1⁄6 of its weight on the earth.
